Concentric Lines Defense, LLC, is dedicated to empowering individuals with the necessary skills to develop multiple, overlapping defensive layers.  Our comprehensive training programs cover a wide range of self-defense techniques, from introductory to advanced.  As such, we ensure that you are well-prepared for any potential threat.  As owner and chief instructor, Eugene (Geno) brings together 40+ years of studying and instructing martial arts, firearms, and education.

​

In terms of defensive experience, Geno’s most significant, and real-life accomplishment, is that he actually has thwarted a planned mass shooting of a Michigan school district, where he was the grades 7-12 principal.  While all firearms instructors are trained and certified, few instructors across America have had the real-life experience that Geno brings to defensive firearms training.  Geno walked-the-walk, and he literally went face-to-face with those would-be mass shooters. At the end of that 9-months-long, multi-state ordeal, all of the students, faculty and staff closed-out the school year completely unscathed.  The multi-state, violent criminals?  The would-be mass shooters? They went to prison.

​

Philosophy of Training.  While training for one’s CPL is necessary, it is not sufficient.  It is merely a first-step. Too often, CPL training consists of little more than standing behind the firing line, at an indoor range, firing from a static position, like a mannequin.  Such limited training sets-one-up to be little more than an easy target.  Geno lives by, and instructs according to the old saying, “Train the way you will fight”.  Students must, as a matter of necessity, train in dynamic shooting: laying down defensive fire, while on the move to concealment or better yet to cover.  Students must experience defensive shooting around, under, over and even through barriers.  Students need to know how to clear and/or reload their weapon while continuing on the move, and resuming fire.

​

Our instructors are not only professionally trained but also certified to deliver high-quality self-defense education. Geno is trained in Tactical, Intermediate Tactical and Advanced Tactical.  With a focus on practical skills and real-life scenarios, our training goes beyond theory to provide you with the confidence and ability to defend yourself effectively.  By the completion of your training, you will have a very clear understanding of what constitutes condition white, yellow, orange or red.  You will be skilled in acting according to each condition.  However, our position is, that if you find yourself in condition orange, get out!  Do not stick around to be a "good witness".  You can read about the chaos in the evening news.

​

Inasmuch as the USCCA uses a best-practices, research-based curriculum, Geno’s educational preparation and experience are relevant to his service as a USCCA instructor.  To that end, he has provided a short summary list of his relevant educational training and professional experiences, posted in the About section. We hope that you will join us in our mission to enhance personal safety, confidence and an impressive amount of uncommon sense.
